Troubleshooting

If you get a CMake Error that either module silccliient or weemake were not found

-- checking for module 'weechat>=1.5'
--   package 'weechat>=1.5' not found
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake:279 (message):
  A required package was not found
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake:333 (_pkg_check_modules_internal)
  CMakeLists.txt:14 (pkg_check_modules)

-- checking for module 'silcclient'
--   package 'silcclient' not found
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake:279 (message):
  A required package was not found
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake:333 (_pkg_check_modules_internal)
  CMakeLists.txt:15 (pkg_check_modules)

You either don't have the appropiate .pc files in their right place or you might need to set your PKG_CONFIG_PATH

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib64/pkgconfig:/usr/share/pkgconfig

Run ldd libweechatsilc.so to make sure your libraries are linked correctly, if not you might need to do

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib

Usage

What you can do

• connecting to a silc server: /silc connect
• joining a channel: /silc join
• talking in a channel
• nicklist and modes should work as well
• private messages: /silc msg []
• disconnecting from a server: /silc disconnect

What you can't do yet (PR's very much appreciated)

• leaving a channel (you can close the buffer, but that will just lead to madness)
• changing channel or user modes
• setting a channel topic
• nick changes (both yours and others)
• kicking people and being kicked (see: leaving a channel)
• password prompts for keys (currently just loads/generates a key in the current working directory)
